This church is
a dramatic sight about a quarter of a mile above the
Dunmow to Ongar road. A sandy track climbs up to it.
Kentish ragstone and crumbling cement make it seem
externally a very dour place - it is obviously still
in use and loved, but in dreadful condition with
missing roof tiles and a few broken panes. The
setting makes it seem much more remote than it
actually is. The church is open every day, and inside
is like a time capsule of the 1870s, everything just
as it was. Very atmospheric. To the south of the
church is an enormous badgers sett - the dead aren't
going to get much rest around there.
